World_Wide_Web_by_e_designer.jpg



OVERVIEW


The World Wide Web was started in 1989 and was designed by Tim Berners-Lee

HTML

HYPERTEXT TRANSFER PROTOCOL -- developed rules for transactions between computers on the internet:

(1) Establishing a connection

(2) Requesting that document be sent

(3) Sending the document

(4) Closing the connection


HTML works well with static pages. For DYNAMIC pages -- text, graphics, animations - JavaScript is needed.

Cold Fusion and PHP are apps that scan web pages for special commands and directives

Oracle, Sybase, and mySQL manage STRUCTURED QUERY LANGUAGE (SQL) databases

Flash animation, Director apps, RunRev stacks can be called from HTML pages through a browser plug-in to display the action or sound or video

EXTENSIBLE MARKUP LANGUAGE (XML) goes beyond HTML where tags can be created describing what the data means and it can be retrieved from anywhere on the Web.

ASYNCHRONOUS JAVASCRIPT (AJAX) uses XML and CASCADING STYLE SHEETS (CSS) to mark up and style information and JavaScript to generate displays and allow user interaction.
